[@derekm1791]

I'm a scooter guy myself but those Nortons and Triumphs are gorgeous!

[@ronaldmulukom7477]

Still I like my # red Vespa more . 🤔

[@lisaw150]

@@ronaldmulukom7477 red vespas are a way of life 😁 which model do you have? I have the Primavera Red 125cc.

[@sirponsonbywobblebottom3051]

This is basically Suggs VS Lemmy. And I love both.

[@marekryszard]

ikr ?? Motörhead and the Specials. Two bands I saw perform live a few times.

[@ANDREW-DICE-TATE]

Love old rocker bikes & attire/ dig mod's music more than most rocker's music. We got a problem Houston

[@apacherider7110]

Great to see Brit culture being celebrated in Sweden. Well done guys...

[@nativeeurope1299]

Rockers with their bikes, black helmets and leather just look more bad-ass.

[@colinbarker1146]

It how it was b4 1964 mod & rockers riots. It use to be friendly between Mods & ROCKERS b4 the media stepped in learn from the history & docos on TV

[@martinblazevski2736]

I would migrate to stockholm and buy a cafe racer and a little scooter and join them both. This palce is full of good people and no matter what , rockers or mods , they all love motorcycles and they are good to eachother

[@nightowl7459]

Martin Blazevski, I quite like both culture's myself.

[@ehought]

the fire has gone out of the mods and rockers conflict

[@stephaneckes7438]

War eine geile Ueit damals,auch durch die Vielfalt an Motorrädern! Trucky.

[@alfbittner6489]

Some thing that happened 50yrs ago still lives on,m good to see both sides out and about in the sun.

[@PaulincrediblypleasingSmith]

The style lives on! Long live the style!

[@johnhawley699969]

Good meet. Two crews of equal strength having a gentlemanly ride by! Like Knights on steeds! It's not all about a scrap!

[@gitaneVYS491R]

I like old bikes and old scooters so I enjoyed watching that.

[@davidswettenham2381]

We r the mods- we r the mods- we r we r we r the mods ... RESPECT

[@alanwilliams3677]

They display a greater affection for British culture than most Brits. Perhaps that's what is wrong with Sweden, and us.

[@neilurquhart8622]

I was a rocker in the 60’s riding Nortons (350cc Navigator and 650ss), some years later I had a couple of Lambrettas but went back to bikes and now at the age of 80 I’ve got a Honda VFR v-tech….without doubt the best bike I’ve ever owned. During the 80’s I worked in Sweden (Stockholm, Uppsala and Umea) and got to love the country and it’s people. This video is so typical of the Swedes, very orderly and organised; I was unaware of the popularity of the mods & rocker culture though. The custom car movement was very prominent when I worked there…..as was ABBA of course!

[@marekryszard]

@meilurquart . . . I hope I'm still riding when I'm 80 years old. Last year I purchased a brand new Triumph Bonneville T120. I hadn't owned or ridden a motorcycle in 34 years !! At the age of 62, it has done wonders to improve my spirit of life. ❤ ❤

[@neilurquhart8622]

@@marekryszard riding helps to keep the mind alert and active (100% concentration ALWAYS!). Assume everybody on the road is out to kill you!!🇬🇧

[@jhoskry]

I love the concept of the café racer

[@Davidlouis3]

Love the retro bikes

[@classydoctor5864]

Do people realise there was more to mods and rockers than just vehicles?

[@marekryszard]

I don't kmow. Please enlighten us . . .

[@jhoskry]

I agree

[@kaidocobraxx]

I would love to join both sides, and I will soon. I've got a '76 vespa right now and I adore it. And I have a honda cb in the works.

[@-dale2051]

Do you're a mocker?

[@eatathonwinner]

now that is a nice bike, a right triumph for a rocker :D

[@eatathonwinner]

my dad was a rocker, my mum was a mod, hows that for a fight? still together to this day

[@stiffneck2090]

I'll go with the Rockers over the Moderns.

[@Maryonpark]

I loved Lambrettas but was never one for all the mirrors and lights.

[@UKRaver1956]

So funny hearing the scooters ride past. They sounded like a bunch of lawn mowers and sewing machines lol

[@juleshargas2860]

iI is in England that movements are born, even sports

[@juancarlosvaldiviesounanue8980]

Keep on rockin

[@1339LARS]

Farking brill !!

[@gmerson951]

Going out with your mates on two wheels. Nothing will touch that!

[@alistairshaw3206]

I'm a biker, I passed my test in 1977. The smell of 2 stroke oil must have been great that day! I've never ridden a scooter though. I love the older bikes and own bikes from the 70s 80s and early 90s. The scooters are nice, but I must be a rocker, not a mod. I wear a leather jacket, not a parka.

[@lisaw150]

This is all very confusing: I have a Vespa and a black leather jacket, my dad has a Harley and a green parka... I guess we're each half mod, half rocker 😅

[@jhoskry]

If I had lived at the time when the café racer was born, I would undoubtedly be a Rocker, since I discovered the world of motorcycles I loved the café racer, now I am a 20 year old and I have my own café racer style motorcycle, and watching this video undoubtedly makes me reaffirm that for me personally it is my favorite style, That's uncomfortable, but you adapt.

[@jhoskry]

Excuse my English, I speak Spanish

[@greatsongsuemorrris791]

the mods scooters were awsome with all the headlights ect and if you got a ride on one you were well in with the mod crowd

[@devonmuseums]

I'm gutted, I've only got 8 mirrors. Mods, rockers, all great guys and girls.

[@BuzzJones]

Bloody good show ole chap

[@truthhunter46]

[@mozdickson]

smile people! supposed to be fun!!!

[@269trung]

Wowo, so great...

[@paulcowell7588]

60s-70s media that put mods and rockers at each others throats.just different types of two wheel travel as far as I'm concerned.although secretly most rockers wanted a lambretta....the mods smelled better.

[@MikeWachosky]

enjoy the bikes! whatever be the bikes that you ride! 4 wheels move the body, 2 wheels move the SOUL! 've fun people!

[@lambrettist2007]

That's 'cause there really aren't scooter riding mods anymore, and we look after our scooters just as much as you guys looked after your bikes, maybe even more.

[@hiperborean82]

Nice video. But I have expected a fight! :)

[@dlcrt]

Hey what's the point? Is this a meeting to cheer the history? Someone explain to me please.

a can see plenty of mods but no rockers

[@johnord684]

I always classed myself as a mocker bit of a mod and bit of a rocker.Loved the mod style and music as well a rock music but prefered proper bikes to scooters.

[@louiejonesponation]

Same here, I dress like a Mod, listen to the music that Mods would listen to, and I like scooters (Lambretta LI150 Series 3, Lambretta LI150 Special, Lambretta TV200, Lambretta SX200, Vespa 125); However, I like a lot of Rockabilly and I like bikes (Royal Enfield Classic 500, Harley Davidson Electra Ultra Limited, Vincent Black Shadow, 1976 Kawasaki KZ900), so I guess I’m a Mocker.

[@marekryszard]

Ringo Starr is the original Mocker. LOL

I was a rocker in the 70s great days great fun didn’t take part in all this bashing the mods, biking biking only hitin the road every given opportunity I had a 650 bSA) Silver Road rocket what a machine for the time 120 mph that was considered very fast in them days anyway I had the time of my life.
